Health Care

At the Joan Rose Foundation we provide health services as needed. If a child becomes sick or injured we cover the costs for all expenses such as laboratory tests and medicine. We occasionally provide the children with physicals and immunizations.

We also pay for hospitalizations and surgeries that a child may require. We have covered the costs for several of our children’s surgeries including one for a little girl who needed to have an extra digit removed. This year we provided complete financial assistance for procedures such as a painful kidney stone removal, the repairing of a girl’s detached retina, an extended hospital stay from a severe knee infection, and several broken bones. There are no avenues of support for most of these children and we are confident that several lives have been saved thanks to our generous donors.

The majority of the health problems of our children at the Joan Rose Foundation are those of fevers or skin infections. We handle many of these in-house with the help of American doctors who have agreed to answer any questions we may have, even if it means a late night phone call. We have dealt with several extreme medical conditions and circumstances. To learn more about those situations and our role, please read one of the following updates.
